[FONT=&quot]A Fox News spokesperson confirmed to TheWrap on Friday that Neff had resigned but did not elaborate on the reason why.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]According to CNN Business, Neff disparaged Black and Asian people and derided a woman for being a “megashrew” in multiple pseudonymous posts. Some of the comments include, “Black doods staying inside playing Call of Duty is probably one of the biggest factors keeping crime down,” which CNN said Neff wrote last month; in another post made this week, Neff said that he “wouldn’t get LASIK from an Asian for free” in response to an email thread with the subject line, “Would u let a JET BLACK congo n—– do lasik eye surgery on u for 50% off?”[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]CNN Business said that after receiving an anonymous tip, they were able to identify Neff as the person behind the username “CharlesXII” by reviewing his messages with public information about Neff. The account had also posted photos in 2018 to the online forum in which Neff’s reflection can be seen taking the photograph, according to CNN Business.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Neff was asked to join “Tucker Carlson Tonight” as a writer in Nov. 2016 from the Daily Caller, where he was an education correspondent, according to a recent profile published in Dartmouth University’s alumni magazine. In the profile, Neff also said he was responsible for the “first drafts” for “anything” that Carlson was reading off the teleprompter.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Neff was unable to be reached for comment; he has also taken down most of his social media accounts as of Friday evening.[/FONT]

Such racist comments. Get the guillotine ready.

Do liberals care about freedom of speech?

Of course not. But they repeatedly call conservatives fascists.

Fox News Condemns Remarks By Former Tucker Carlson Staffer

Brian Steinberg Variety

July 11, 2020Top executives at Fox News Media condemned remarks made in an online forum by Blake Neff, a now-resigned member of the staff of primetime show “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” and said the network parted ways with him as soon as it learned of his behavior. Carlson is expected to address the matter on Monday during his program.“We want to make abundantly clear that Fox News Media strongly condemns this horrific racist, misogynistic and homophobic behavior,” said Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and President Jay Wallace in a memo to staffers Saturday. “Neff’s abhorrent conduct on this forum was never divulged to the show or the network until Friday, at which point we swiftly accepted his resignation. Make no mistake, actions such as his cannot and will not be tolerated at any time in any part of our work force.”
Neff’s comments were revealed in a Friday report from CNN that showed he had posted offensive messages under a pseudonym in a digital venue known as AutoAdmit, where he made disparaging remarks about women and people of color. Carlson has credited the writer with some of the success of his program, which has in recent weeks expanded its audience on the Fox Corp.-owned cable-news outlet. Fox News had previously noted that Neff “resigned.”
The situation is a sensitive one for Fox News and its parent company. Carlson has grown extremely influential since taking over the network’s 8 p.m. time slot from Bill O’Reilly in the fall of 2016. Some of Carlson’s talking points and thoughts are echoed by President Donald Trump. The show, which bills itself as “the sworn enemy of lying. pomposity, smugness and groupthink,” draws a broad viewership. In June, “Tucker Carlson Tonight” attracted an average of 799,000 viewers in the demographic most coveted by advertisers in news programming, people between 25 and 54, according to Nielsen. No other cable-news program drew as a big a crowd in that category.
And yet, Carlson has proven polarizing, with views on immigration and other topics that have offended. In recent days, he has cast aspersion on Senator Tammy Duckworth, a former U.S. Army officer who lost both her legs while serving in Iraq in 2004, a move that has sparked backlash from critics. His program has lost mainstream national advertisers, and often runs largely accompanied by direct-response commercials as well as promos from Fox News and its sister properties.
The CNN report highlighted a number of comments and responses to threads with offensive themes that Neff made over a prolonged period of time under the pseudonym Charles XII. Neff had previously been a staffer at The Daily Caller, a conservative news and opinion site that Carlson co-founded and to which he sold his stake last month.
The Fox News executives characterized Neff’s contributions to the site as “horrendous and deeply offensive.” Carlson did not address the matter directly on his Friday broadcast.

It's not spelled Faux...It's FOX...

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure it will come as a GREAT surprise to you that I was aware of that. Now, let's have a little education on something that I'm quite confident that you are NOT aware, and, that's the definition of "Faux:"

adjective: faux

    • not genuine; fake or false.

      "Faux News," instead of "Fox News." GET it, Birdbrain? You probably don't. How about your crowd estimate for Romney, THAT was Faux News. Starting to sink it? Anybody home? Here's ANOTHER story that's Faux News, canceling a rally that the GOP governor was avoiding like the plague, that way, YOU didn't have to schlep all the way to New Hampshire to lie about the crowd size, Dickwad.

      Forecast track of Tropical Storm Fay as of 11 a.m. on Friday. (National Hurricane Center)​
      By Jason Samenow and

      Matthew Cappucci



      July 10
      The day after the Commerce Department inspector general released the results of an investigation into President Trump’s inaccurate statements regarding Hurricane Dorian last September, Trump sent a problematic tweet about the path of Tropical Storm Fay.
      The tweet, posted just after 1 p.m. Friday, said that the storm, making landfall in New Jersey, was headed toward the “Great State of New Hamphire,” justifying the rescheduling of a campaign rally on Saturday evening in Portsmouth. Yet the National Hurricane Center only included the very western fringe of the state in its predicted zone of where the storm center might pass, nowhere in the vicinity of Portsmouth.
      [Trump delays Saturday rally in New Hampshire because of weather, White House says]
      White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters Friday that the campaign rally was being delayed due to a “big storm” expected in Portsmouth, when forecasts from the National Weather Service showed just periodic showers and light winds likely tapering off by evening.
      The National Weather Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the forecast information provided by Trump and McEnany.


      Falling on the heels of the scandal involving bad forecast information during Hurricane Dorian, the New Hampshire tweet and McEnany’s statement add additional weight to concerns about how the administration interprets and communicates weather information.
      [Investigation rebukes Commerce Department for siding with Trump over forecasters during Hurricane Dorian]
      Multiple National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service products showed only minor impacts from Tropical Storm Fay in coastal New Hampshire.
      In forecasts for Fay issued by the National Hurricane Center between Fay’s development at 5 p.m. on Thursday and President Trump’s tweet shortly after 1 p.m. on Friday, none included Portsmouth in the storm’s path.
      Although it is true that storm impacts frequently occur considerable distances outside the predicted storm path, hazardous weather was not forecast for Portsmouth.
      The 11 a.m. wind forecast, released two hours before the president’s tweet, called for a 1 percent chance that winds would reach tropical storm force in Portsmouth during Saturday evening, with a zero percent chance that winds would be sustained at 39 mph or greater for at least a minute after 8 p.m.

Don't try to cover up, asshole. You thought I was misspelling Fox and/or using a made up word. You may not get to overestimate te convention, either, I posted a story on how that scumbag Di Satrous is quietly working against the Jacksonville convention. His attitude towards the convention being in Florida seems to be shifting, for some inexplicable reason...:hahahahahShush()*:pointer::think2:popcorn-eatinggif

Correct.
Portsmouth is waaaaaay over on the coast, far from the storm's path.
And the forecast for Portsmouth was sunny with a few clouds all day.
A nice summer's day by all valid accounts as of Friday.

Yes, apparently the racist, sexist Tucker Carlson is supposedly
going to address the issue of the abrupt departure of his own
racist, sexist #1 speech writer, tonight on FUX News...

Yeah, scumbag, time for you to take a little "vacation." They have a LOT of those at Faux News, don't they? O'Reilly, the old ridiculously made slut Judge Janine, that brain dead, horse faced slut Ingraham, and now, Fucker Carlson.

[FONT=&quot]Carlson admitted to the viewers of his show on Monday night that “what Blake wrote anonymously was wrong.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“We don’t endorse those words,” Carlson said. “They have no connection to the show. It is wrong to attack people for qualities they cannot control.”[/FONT]
